  Crop Circles, Star Children, and forbidden archaeology redefine the entire mythology of extraterrestrial life and its impact on our world, its history, and the future. 
   
  People once thought the Mayan Calendar heralded December 21st, 2012 as a catastrophic end of life as they knew it. Instead, that date marks the next turn of the Renasense Cycle. 
   
  The fields of Kansas, during summer of the year 2012, become the canvas in which mysterious sigils appear during early morning hours. Mickey Brooks relentlessly searches for validation through fringe psuedosciences. Numbers stations and crop circles consume his ambition and demand his obsession. 
   
  Others chase evidence of extraterrestrial visitations and investigate humanity's ancient history, while claiming links to both. Star Children insist a connection between humans and aliens remains suppressed by secret conspiracies. 
   
  Twisted fundamentalists also hunt that which the masses ignore. They charge themselves as righteous protectors and destroy anyone threatening to upset their authoritative paradigm. 
   
  Mickey evades hostile fanatics and races time to understand a series of enigmatic symbols and, more importantly, his own connection to the events.

  The Secret of the Growing Gold -...

  Abraham Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland on the 8th of November 1847, the third of seven children.  
   
  His early years were plagued with such ill-health that he was unable to start school until the age of seven.  He turned the long periods of recovery into an opportunity for thinking and said “I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years”.  
   
  Strikingly at Trinity College, Dublin his health had returned with such vigour that he was named their University Athlete whilst also achieving a BA in Mathematics with honours.  
   
  At this time his interest in theatre became a job offer to be the Dublin Evening Mail’s theatre critic, co-owned by Sheridan Le Fanu.  He now began to also write short stories and in 1872 ‘The Crystal Cup’ was published.  An interest in art developed and he co-founded the Dublin Sketching Club.  
   
  In 1878 came marriage to Florence Balcombe.  She had formerly been courted by Stoker’s acquaintance, Oscar Wilde.  The marriage produced one child.   
   
  Stoker had some years before reviewed Henry Irving’s Hamlet and had dined with him.  That friendship now resulted in a proposal from Irving to move to London and to manage his Lyceum Theatre.  His numerous commercial innovations ensured both he and the theatre thrived.  Irving would also often take Stoker with him when he toured abroad. 
   
  Despite this busy life Stoker continued to write and these works paved the way for his most famous creation, published in 1897, ‘Dracula’.  It is rightly recognised as one of the greatest horror novels of all time and although not the first with a theme of Vampires, it is undoubtedly the most well-known. 
   
  Stoker also wrote poetry and many excellent short stories and continued to write novels and other works throughout his career. 
   
  Politically Stoker supported Home Rule, though only by peaceful means.  He was also keen on following scientific trends particularly in medicine. 
   
  In 1902 his tenure at the Lyceum Theatre ended and although he continued to write his health was deteriorating, mainly due to a series of debilitating strokes. 
   
  Bram Stoker died on the 20th April 1912, in Pimlico, London.  He was 64.

  "MS. Found in a Bottle" is an 1833 short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The plot follows an unnamed narrator at sea who finds himself in a series of harrowing circumstances. As he nears his own disastrous death while his ship drives ever southward, he writes an "MS.", or manuscript, telling of his adventures which he casts into the sea. Some critics believe the story was meant as a satire of typical sea tales.
  Poe submitted "MS. Found in a Bottle" as one of many entries to a writing contest offered by the weekly Baltimore Saturday Visiter. Each of the stories was well liked by the judges but they unanimously chose "MS. Found in a Bottle" as the contest's winner, earning Poe a $50 prize. The story was then published in the October 19, 1833, issue of the Visiter.
